Curiozități

Kontora (コントラ) is a 2019 Japanese drama mystery film written, directed, produced, and edited by Anshul Chauhan that stars Seira Kojima, Wan Marui, and Hidemasa Mase. Kontora is shot in black-and-white. Kontora is Chauhan's second feature film after Bad Poetry Tokyo, preceded by December. Kontora is also the first Japanese film to receive the Grand Prix award at the Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival.

Production

After making Bad Poetry Tokyo, director Anshul Chauhan was approached by a producer to write another script after being impressed by his film. Chauhan then took six to seven months to write a script about bullying at the Yokosuka military academy near Tokyo, however, the producer got scared after reading the script and fled as he believed that it was anti-government.

The plot of Kontora is based on a real story about Chauhan's grandfather, who was a war veteran, that buried and hid things that were discovered after he had died. Chauhan also based the stories in the grandfather's diary around real letters by soldiers.

Kontora was shot with a low budget and most scenes where the actors were in a house were shot at Taichi Yamada's house, the actor who plays the father, which is also how he got a role in the film. The film was also mostly shot in Seki, Yamada's hometown.
